The Electronic Crime Investigation Directorate, as part of the implementation of the program CYBERKID to safely navigate students on the internet (Relevant from 25-09-2014 Press Release), performs interactive teleconferencing in school units, across the country, every Tuesday and Thursday.
The program is implemented by the Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection and the Greek Police in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs.
The first teleconference took place on September 25, 2014 and to date 1.313 schools throughout the territory have attended the teleconferences.
Schools participating in teleconferencing are invited through the "meetings.sch.gr" system of the Pan-Hellenic School Network and are thus part of the teleconferencing.
During teleconferences, presentations are made by the Head of the Electronic Crime Prosecutor's Office and specialized officers, using audiovisual equipment. More specifically, the themes that are being developed are:
• The mission of the Electronic Crime Prosecutor's Office.
• The purpose of organizing teleconferencing.
• Offenses and the way they are committed through the internet, as well as prevention practices.
• The phenomena of online violence, the dangers posed by social networking sites and in general the prevention and treatment of the risks associated with the new technologies.
• Statistics on the penetration of Greeks online and the cases that the Electronic Crime Prosecution has to deal with.
During presentations, a competent teacher from each school collects questions from the students, which he sends through the system and the "chat" function of direct written communication. The questions are answered, during the teleconference, by the specialized Cybercrime Prosecution Officers, who make the presentation.
The briefing will continue in all the schools of the country in the next few years, in the same way so that all pupils will be informed all over Greece next April.
